A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Pac-Man Vs from 2003 is one of the few games to REQUIRE the use of a Gameboy Advance and a Gamecube-to-GBA link cable. Here’s is how it works.
What happens when a Gamecube-to-GBA link cable is used to connect Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance (GC, 2005) to Fire Emblem (GBA, 2003) and Fire Emblem: The Scared Stones (GBA, 2004)? Instead of unlocking helpful weapons or items, players instead unlock character portraits from the GBA titles into the Gamecube game via the Illustrations menu.
Crash Bandicoot – The Wrath of Cortex on Gamecube has an exclusive mini-game when you link a Gameboy Advance called Crash Bash, a simple gallery shooter for 1 or 2 alternating players.
Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg (GC, 2003) was an exclusive Gamecube title released by Sonic Team and Sega.

Madden NFL 2003 and Madden NFL 2004 featured Gamecube-to-Gameboy Advance (GC-to-GBA) connectivity using a GC-to-GBA link cable. Madden 2003 features a digital scoreboard whereas Madden 2004 linked with the corresponding GBA version of the game. However, there is a trick to initiate this linking connectivity.
Several games in the Japan-exclusive Gameboy Advance Famicom Mini Series feature a Single-Pak link multiplayer mode. While some feature simultaneous play (Mario Bros., Clu Clu Land, Balloon Fight, Twin Bee, and SD Gundam World), a few games are alternating (Ghosts’n Goblins, Mappy, Dig-Dug, and Wrecking Crew). So instead of connecting a link cable, 2p hot-seat […]

In this video, I highlight a total of 8 games that made use of this creative multiplayer concept (2 of the […]
There were over 1,500 games released on Nintendo’s Gameboy Advance. About 100 of them features a Single-Pak Link multiplayer mode. Out these 100-ish games, these 10 titles especially flew under the radar and can be defined as a Sleeper Hit or Hidden Gem.
